Well this Saturday is a bit different than normal....I don't think I've ever started off my Saturday by eating left over pulled pork while watching World Cup Soccer. First time for everything I suppose.
Well I should get this out of the way before I forget....Todd Jones got the save for the Tiger's last night. Made it a bit scary but he got it done. Thanks Todd....thank you for not blowing your first save opportunity after I added you to my fantasy team.
I must comment on another baseball game that I watched a little bit of last night. Cleveland and Cincinnati. Cleveland was up 8-0 going into the 8th inning. When I turned it on it was 8-4 and now in the 9th inning. So the Indians bring in their closer, Bob Wickman. Bob Wickman and Todd Jones are very similar in their style to me.....that is, they rarely have a 1,2,3 inning. They usually both allow the other team to get a man or two on base and make things interesting. Well that's exactly what Bob Wickman did last night. Coming into the game with an 8-4 lead he immediately got the first guy out. Way to go Bob. Then he gives up a couple hits, gets a guy to ground out but Cincinnati managed to get another run. So it's 8-5 with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth. 3 run lead....1 out to go. Indians are looking good right ? Well Wickman loses his control and can't find the plate.....he walked a guy on four straight pitches and ended up loading the bases. So the winning run for Cincinnati steps up to the plate. Well I guess Wickman found his control again because he threw one right down the middle and Adam Dunn, the guy batting, hit a laser down the right field line that sailed over the wall. A bottom of the ninth, 2 out, grand slam to win it for Cincinnati. They scored 9 runs in 2 innings to come back and win it. Craziness.
Anyway, I'm going to go try and be productive. Happy weekend everyone.
